Background: A large number of symptomatic individuals with central sleep apnea (CSA) in clinical practice have an indication for adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy.
Research Question: What are the effects of ASV therapy on sleep quality and PROMs in patients with CSA across a range of devices and indications.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was conducted in France and enrolled participants from June 2017 to February 2020.
Article Synopsis
- - The French RAMSES study compared severe asthma patients managed in tertiary referral centres (TRCs) versus secondary care centres (SCCs) to understand differences in patient characteristics and care practices.
- - A total of 2046 patients were included: 73.4% from TRCs and 26.6% from SCCs; key findings showed that TRC patients had more comorbidities but lower blood eosinophil counts and benefited more from educational programs and in-depth investigations.
- - The study concluded that asthma care trajectories and patient phenotypes varied significantly between TRCs and SCCs, emphasizing the need for standardized approaches to managing severe asthma.
Introduction: Data on severe asthma in France are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to asthma treatments and its determinants in a population of severe asthmatics.
Methods: From May 2016 to June 2017, the French Collège des Pneumologues des Hôpitaux Généraux organized a large-scale prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study on this topic; 1502 patients with severe asthma were included.
Background: Because ACO (Asthma-COPD-Overlap) does not fill out asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) criteria, such patients are poorly evaluated. The aim of this study was to screen asthma and COPD for an alternative diagnosis of ACO, then to determine subgroups of patients, using cluster analysis.
Material And Methods: Using GINA-GOLD stepwise approach, asthmatics and COPD were screened for ACO.
Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA): achievements in 10 years and future needs.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma represent global health problems for all age groups. Asthma and rhinitis frequently coexist in the same subjects. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) was initiated during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999 (published in 2001).
